Bill Nye writes to a bald headed
friend, who asks his advice about hair
restorers, as follows:
Take your hair invigorator money
and buy town lot in growing town
that supports its home paper and ad-
vertises and goes ahead, and you will
find in twenty years that you are well
fixed, and a man who is well fixed
doesn't care much whether he has any
hair or not"
We trust this sensible advice will be
needed by all to whom it applies.

is pleased toreport very pleasant visit
to the Belle Springs creamery few
days ago. We were most courteously
entertained by the proprietors, J. E..
Neisley & Co., who, though very busily
engaged, kindly gave all the desired in
fa'~rT'iou.
I&ussrs. Hoffman, Forney, Hershey
and Hoffman. who constitute the ''Co.",
are all representative men and would
add force and stability to any institu-
ton into which finance and good judg-
ment entered with any degree of i'm
portance.
Mr.. Nissley, who is manager of the
establishment, is man of varied and
valuable experience in various similar
institutions.
The building which is immense, and
substantially built, was erected at cost
Of from three to four thousand dollars,
is composed of half dozen departments
besides an ice house with a capacity for
135 tons of ice.
All the machinery is of the latest and
most approved manufacture and is
operated by steam.
This creamery is conducted upon
what is known as the "whole MILK
system; that is, the producer is respon-
sible only for the delivery of clean,
sweet milk, before specified hour each
day. They buy the milk by the cwt.,
paying a uniform price during each
month, and basing all their calculations
and prices upon the basis that one hun
dred pounds of milk will produce four
pounds of butter. They pay during the
present month S1.OO per cwt., thus CIV
ing the customer % cents pound for
his butter
The capacity of the facilities, with
several additional separators, will be
about 1000 lbs. of butter daily.
The average amount of milk received
daily since November 24th, the day of
opening, is 1900 lbs, and in these cold
winter days about l, 400 lbs. are gathered
per day.
1t was quite interesting to see the
large churn in operation, with capacity
for churning 800 lbs. of butter at one
churning, and yet more so was it to see
Mr.. Neisley operating the printer SO dex-
terously as to at least convince us that
there is considerable virtue in practice,
and turn out most unique little block
of butter with the already famous "B.
s." Belle Springs stamped upon it.
But to us the most attractive part of
all is the machine used to separate the
cream from the milk. This is done by
centrifugal force, the cream being the
lighter fluid. The machine used is one
of the celebrated De Laval separdtors
it is only several feet hgh and contains
BOWL about twelve inches in dame
ter, which makes roo reroIut,ons per
minute.
All shipments thus far have been con-
signed to Perry & Co., of Denver, Col
The very first shipment brought the
highest market price in that city and |
elected the heartiest commentator |
from the commercial press. We pre-
dict that at no late date the ''B. S."
butter will be favorably known in all |
the surrounding markets.
The sturdy farmers and frugal house
wives of the vicinity of Belle Springs
appreciate their good fortune, and are
patronizing the establishment right
heartily. j. HE.

Reduce the Taxes.

The country is doomed to commence
the New Year under a grievous burden
of unnecessary taxation.
But let US hope the softening influ-
ences of Christmas will so act upon the
hearts of congressman and the costly
requirements of the season so reduce
their purses as to make them reduce
the taxes.
A failure to do this would seal the
fate of many a Congressman. They
should act from selfish impulse, if
they cannot from a sense Of justice.

There can no longer be any doubt
that Mr.. Blaine is in training for the
republican candidacy in 1888. A
special Pittsburg dispatch to his New
York organ states that the present
value of his coal lands in the "second
pool'' is $3.50, 900, and its prospective
value dependent upon Government aidl
is 100000. A coal baron with big
barrel" would be a very suitable can
didate for the monopoly-fostering party
in 1888.

the pushing Of sales in every direction,
the plating of additions, and the stir

His Unsuccessful Operations in Marion
County, Missouri.
Jerome G. Msrkle, whose unsavOry
record In this city is we'll known, has
just been released on bail from the
Marion county, Missouri, jail. Msrkle
had been sailing under an assumed
named, and, although his attorney In
this city has been defending him, hut
few persons in this city knew anything
OF his doing or his whereabouts. The
Offense which is the csuse of his present
troubles was committed some time In
December and were II not for the fact
that he will forfeit his bail he would
doubtless serve a term In the psnlten-
tisIy. He was indicted for burglary
and shooting with intent to kill He
and two pals broke into iewelry store
In Palmyra, Missouri, and were In the
act of drilling the safe, when they were
discovered and battle ensued. About
twenty shots were exchanged and 1t Is
thought that one Of his companions was
wounded, though they both succeeded In
making their escape. Markle was
captured and lrdged in Jail where he
has remained until few days ago. A
letter from a bank In Hannital to q
prominent detective In this city states
that one of the best lawyers IN Canton
appeared there few days ago and sue
ceeded In securing bail for Markle. The
court fixed his bail at $500 In each case
against him. The Canton attorney de-
posted $1,000 with the bankers and
they signed The bonds for the appear
ance OF the defendant at the June term
of court. While the bank has 5000 more
than enough to secure them they are
for some reason keeping lookout for
the man. They evidently do not believe
he will show up and are making an
fort to locate him and bring him to
justice. The detective who imparts
this information thinks that MarkIe is
In New Orleans and has no dea that he
will appear for trial. It is to be hoped
that he will be produced at tie appear
anGe time, and that he will be landed
In the penitentisry, where he belorgs.

ED. BEP. In your issue OF Monday
you report interviews with Officer Bris-

cloth, not one word Of truth in 1t. The
body was buried before Brlsbin took the
business out Of the hands of the town

Mrs. Hardesty's statements are so un-

published, when all the facts could
have been obtained from the trustees,
whose business alone it is to see that
our work is properly done.

THE STONE CUTTERS AND MAsoNs.

fha Rf. Wavua navsnk

The Situation nc the DuebeR WOrhs and NJ
the IT. Wayne Depot.
While the stone cutters and masOns
and contractors have not yet settled all
points In dispute, 1t can be truthf0lly
said that they are gradually coming TO
an understanding. A prominent union
man said to DEMOCRAT reporter this
morning that the only point In differ.
ence between the men and the contract
or at the IT. Wayne depot is the demand
for nine hours. The men say they are
willing to 20 to work for 30 cents an
hour for masons am IS cents for cut
teTs, but insist that nine hours shall
constitute days work. The contract
or says that by the terms of hls contrn OF
he is compelled to push the work TO
completion as rapidly as possible, and
that In order to fulshit within Che time
specified IL Will be Necessary 20 work
willing to make any reasonable cOnces-
sion contestant with the stand they
have taken, and 1t is not improbable
that q complete agreement will be
reached before this time Wednesday. A
number Of new non union men COM
menced work to-day and many others
arc mhklnB bppllCHLlOu.
At the Dueber Works about S5 men
are at work. Mr.. John 8. Melbourne,
the contractor, now offers $3.50 and
81 Is for masOns and So for good cutters,
ten hours to constitute s days work,
but declines to establish q uniform
price without regard to the skill and
ability of the wOrkmen. This is raise of
80 cents on the wages originally offered.
Mr.. Melbourne says that he ls receiving
more applications by mail than he can
supply pllees for, but would much
rather employ home mechanics. A part
of the union men would be willing to
accept his terms and 60 to work, but Of
course are guided In their actions by
the advice Of the majority. One Of the
union cutters who has been holding out
for better pay and less hours, said to a
reporter that he believed the job would
warrant So 90 and SO 80 for nine hours,
and thought the men we're entitled to
those prices, but for the sake Of har-
mony and the prospect Of steady work
would be willing to meet the contractor
half way. The men recognizes the fact
that an unreasonable demand will re
suit injuriOusly to their cause and will
doubtless modify their Origi al demand
to conform to the new circumstances,
though 1t Is not probable that they will
accept the terms now offered. ills to be
sincerely hoped that fair and satisfac-
tory settlement of the difference will be
reached within the next few days and
that all the home mechanics will be en-
plOyed.
